Bijaya Narayan Maharjan, 38, from Shankharapur Municipality-8, of Kathmandu District, is a constructor by profession. He recalled his memory saying, “We were at Church on 25th April. Thanks to Jesus that we survived. If it wasn’t Saturday, we would not have been able to survive in our old house.”

Center for Integrated Urban Development (CIUD) team has been working closely with earthquake-affected communities in and around Kathmandu Valley to build suitable temporary shelters to live in. Our main goal is to address the immediate needs of the community post-disaster. Many families have expressed safety concerns and need for stable temporary shelters. Our temporary shelter project is in collaboration with local community engagement, with the financial support from UN Habitat (Japan& Mojang), Action Aid Nepal, Blueberry Fund, Joyson Fund.
